    Denied USAFA SS

    there used to be a question on the app asking if you had been to USAFA, etc. IOW- they did want new/unfamiliar candidates. That may have changed slightly as the app this year was a bit different. Don't sweat it. It's not a make/break deal. And you could be nominated to attend one of the...

    "Complete but Medically Disqualified"

    I serve as a Liaison Officer for USAFA and hear more stories every year about perseverance and commitment and how they pay off.. and that's just in the acceptance process.

    Waiver Anxiety

    Good afternoon txmomma. I'm new to this forum and signed up just so I could address your issue which is very familiar to me: My DD is a '12 USAFA grad & current captain. She almost didn't get accepted due to some mixups, lack of follow-through, etc. It resulted in 2 or 3 med DQ's and not...
